Philips has turned its attention to the
leisure market, linking up with
Microprose for an autumn promotion.
If you buy a Philips 8833/11 monitor
— retailing at £269 - you can get a free
copy of Microprose’s F-19 Stealth
Fighter.
The offer will be available for Atari
ST and Amiga owners.
Nintendo has announced that its much
publicised CD player for the 16-bit Super
2 GAMES-X 1ST-7TH AUGUST 1991
NES will hit the streets in Japan next
August.
The CD player will be a result of a
joint venture with the giant electronics
firm, Philips. It will be compatible with
CD 1 players, as well as being able to
play normal audio CDs — a real bonus
that one.
Meanwhile, official details have hit
the Games-X offices regarding the new
Super Mario Brothers movie which will
star Danny DeVito.
Goldstar Films has signed a $35
million co-production deal with the huge
Japanese firm. The film is expected to
open early next year...
LEMMINGS...
Latest statistics point to the fact that the
Lynx is the fastest growing hand held in
the UK. With the promise of the very
best and most popular titles hitting
Atari's little screen, that trend looks set
to continue.
News is that Psygnosis’ lovely little
number, Lemmings, is the latest to be
signed up for conversion to the Lynx.
This is that highly original game in which
you can plot the progress or downfall of
this characterful, but completely daft
race of green haired dwarves., Highly
original concept which we here at
Games-X think will convert well to the
Lynx.
Watch out for the Lynxed
Lemmings in January
next year.

Computer book publisher, PC
Productions, has moved into the leisure
software market via an_ unlikely
connection in Estonia, one of the Soviet
republics.
The Scandinavian’ firm was
contacted by a group of Russian
programmers. They've written five titles,
namely Kosmonaut, Gomoku (both
£19.99), Tetriller, Piller and Picker all
available only on the PC.
PC Production’s boss Peter
Harrison described the games as: “Very
professional and beautifully presented”.
STEALTH
FIGHTER 2.0
An update on the production of Stealth Fighter 2.0, the
sequel to Fi9. Along with improved existing territories,
Microprose flight sim fans will be able to patroi the skies
over Iraq, North Japan and Columbia/Panama.
These 3D environments which represent the territories,
have been much enhanced, showing more terrain detail and
unique features. Furthermore, there’s the facility to load
future worlds, and, perhaps the most interesting
improvement, is a much-improved mission generator which
constantly updates. Depending on your involvement in
missions, this will produce new mission scenarios and
enhanced artificial enemy intelligence, which effectively
eradicates any contrived, or predictability of mission
scenarios.
Meanwhile, inside the plane, Microprose has
constructed a more realistic cockpit, based on further
information about this secret bird, with the special HUD
features. This is particularly effective in the new, night
time environment. The weaponry has been enhanced with
the latest cluster bombs, which caused such devastation
to Saddam’s runways.
On IBM compatibles, VGA graphics will have graduated
horizons, landscapes and seascapes for realism. With full
major sound card support, Stealth 2 is due for an October
release on IBM compatibles, priced £39.99. News on ST
and Amiga as we get it.

ere are four games on a tape for
Da the price of one. The first thing I
loaded was ATV Simulator. It is
basically a drive and jump game for
two players simultaneously.
The graphics aren’t imei lt
good and the game is too difficult to
play for long periods.
Then came habs Simulator 2, the
QUATTRO RACERS
CODEMASTERS £2.99 Our NOW
eeausl to the ace BMX simmiaioe It is
basically the same as the original, but
this version has new tracks and is for
four players. Worth £2.99 alone.
BMX Freestyle is rather like
California Games, because every event
is performed on a bike. You must
master wheelies, riding slowly,
jumping and the dreaded half pipe.
Finally, there is Championship Jet
Ski, a SuperSprint clone for two
players. The sprites are too small to
see at first but you'll get used to them.
This is the best Quattro package
I’ve seen so far.

Alex has moved on to
columns new, leaving me,
Brains, to watch over you
and to keep you up to date
with what's new and corking
on the C64. So, without
further ado lets get on with
this week's packed page!
ust about ready for release is
Demonware’s C64 version of PP
Hammer and his Pneumatic Weapon.
The Amiga version received our coveted Game of
the Week status a few weeks back and this
Vv
ersion for the 64 looks just as good.
It is basically a platform game in the Rick
Dangerous mould with plenty of hidden traps and
p
uzzles for you to solve. The game should be out
any day now and hopefully a review will appear
in next week’s thrilling instalment of Games-X.
ie TIPS
INTERCHANGE - HI-TECH
As | think this game is the best thing around at
the moment, | can’t help but give you a few
level codes to ponder over.
Level 6: MOON
Level 11: DISK
Level 16: DUCK
Level 21: GRIM
MUTANTS - OCEAN
This is a real blast from the past. Ocean’s
ancient but rather good little shooty/exploring
game. For those having trouble, here’s a handy
poke for you to make the game a little easier.
Enter “Poke 9273,165” and you will be
| raced with infinite lives. Cracking!

t first, the game doesn’t seem to
be all that good due to fairly
small graphics and simple gameplay.
However, simplicity makes this game
brilliant. It is a puzzle game where
you need to rely on your skill, speed,
reflexes and thought power just to
survive. The basic idea is to return all
the paths back to their original state
by rotating the various floor sections.
Sounds easy? It’s not.
Running around each level are a
humber of meanies all intent on
ine poor Hecti before he
completes his task. Luckily, these
nasty little blighters can be killed
using a gun or by rotating a block
when one is between two sections.
You may think that it is very easy
after progressing through about six
levels completely unscathed, but by
the time you reach levels 15 and 16
things start getting more difficult.
Anyone who knows their games will
not let this bargain elude them.

his little bundle was reviewed in
the Spectrum column only last
this comprises of
week. Basically,
| machines found in the arcades. These
range from a fruit machine and a trivia
| game to pinball and a variation on Pac-
| Man, all in the usual CodeMasters style
of game.
Pinball is about as good as you
could expect it to be due to a very
short-lasting appeal. Pub Trivia is the
usual arrangement of easy and hard
questions, all of which can be
answered sooner or later.
I found Fruit Machine pretty boring,
but it may appeal to lovers of the real
thing. Finally comes Fast Food, the
Pac-Man clone, well... it would be good
if it moved a bit quicker!
This might not be one of the best
packages on the market, but it will
definitely have some fans out there.

16 GAMES-X 1ST-7TH AUGUST 1991
he original Nebulus was
| raved about for ages on all
formats, even the Speccy,
due fo the amazing effect of its turning
towers. Now we have more of the same
but with many hidden puzzles and
tricks. Old Pogo is going to have a
really tough time trying to complete his
mission.
While sitting in a bar minding his
own business, Pogo was suddenly
asked by the Jewals, a respected race
of creatures, to embark upon a
mission. A task more deadly
than ever before in the
] history of the Galaxy.
Pogo, the brave
young chap that he is,
couldnt turn down the
opportunity to get two new
arms to replace those that
were tragically removed years
before in his first adventure on the
planet Nebulus.
Pogo had retired from his job at
Tower Destructor inc. due to the fact
that it had become far too dangerous
for him. ;
The mission is to take control of
the towers and then repair every little
bit of damage which the evil Uncle has
caused. Unfortunately, this little task is
not as easy as it sounds.
TOWERING SENSATION
Pogo jetted off to start his mission
leaving only the words: “I'll be back!”
with the Jewal. :
Firstly, Pogo must make his way to
the top of each of the towers and press
the self-destruct button before travelling
back down to the base once more,
repairing it as he goes. Eight towers
must be scaled in all, making a total of
16 levels. '
To aid Pogo in his quest, the
On the ‘down’ towers, the aim is to
repair at least 80 per cent of all the
platforms. Here, everything is revers
into space. Very strange!
The bricks from
the first game
have been
replaced with
strange patterns,
making the tower
rotation look —
more impressive
than that of the
first
Jewals have given him six extra
weapons — all of which will perform a
specific task. These include: a heli-
pack, to escape the lighthouse at the
top or to fly up the tower and view what
lies ahead; a magnet, which thrown
above pogo will allow him to move
upwards to another platform; and super
boots, making Pogo jump higher than
before.
The impressive inventory continues
with special squares, which enable
Pogo to warp up or down the
tower; keys to unlock doors; and
rockets, which grant you the
power of flight. All these can
be accessed by collecting the
presents located around the
tower.
Controlling Pogo is very easy
to get to grips with as he runs, jumps
and climbs the outside of each tower.
You simply push the joystick diagonally
upwards. Much easier than the original!

him at the end of the

In the air, you must kill some
birds before preventing balloons from
reaching the bottom of the screen.
Finally, on land, you must avoid
everything and collect presents.

he original Nebulus was way ahead
T of its time in presentation and still
holds its own alongside teday’s great
games.
Now we have Nebulus 2 with a visual
effect even more stunning than that of the
original. “Surely, the rotating tower can’t
be bettered?” I hear you say, well, it has
been. No longer de we have simple
brichs making the towers. They have been
replaced by strange patterns and spirals.
Elsewhere, all the graphics are great.
They are in cartoon style, brilliantly drawn
and very colourful indeed. The amount of
Parallax effects used im the game is
incredible and it’s surprising that
everything moves without the slightest
flicker. The game doesn’t even siow down
when the screen fills up!
The sonics are of a
high quality too, with the
whistling wind around
the tower and various
tunes all adding to the
game’s atmosphere. All spot effects are
perfectly placed, making everything
sound very realistic.
Gameplay is easier to handle with the
new and improved control method, but
don’t think the game will be easy to
complete. The first level itself took me a
few hours to finish and with each tower
getting gradually more difficult | can
guarantee that you will have your work
cut out!
With so many options available it
seems almost impossible to get bored
with the game. This game has to
purchased and if you don’t you must be a
complete... (snip! ~ Ed).
Tetally amazing! I'd say this is better
than Rick Dangerous and in my eyes that's
quite a feat!

1ST-7TH AUGUST 1991 GAMES-X 23
News is, Last Ninja III will be the final Ninja
romp in this award winning trilogy! Is this a
‘Myth’? Don’t be ‘Silly Putty’! Why would a
Games-X ‘Constructor’ lie like that? Jason
Spiller reports
on ‘Turbo Charged’
System 3. (Here’s your
P45 Jason, and a
contract at the
Sun — Ed)
that little more special and polished than the
mainstream. Its insistence on quality,
meticulousness and an uncanny knack for knowing what
the punters want, has meant that this small, but very
well hung independent games house is doing rather
nicely thank you.
In fact, it's policy of throwing everything into 8-bit
games is as ardent as ever, a commitment which is
rarer than Yeti’'s jobbies nowadays. Accordingly, the
mantelpiece at System 3’s HQ is groaning under an
astonishing collection of awards.
However, success has not dulled its enthusiasm nor
blunted its sharpness. As | discovered, the best is yet to
come. Team leader, Adrian Cale’s hatstand appears to
have numerous titfers on it, one of which is ‘ideas man’.
Adrian explained: “During the production of a game,
we all come bursting into the office saying ‘what about
this or that’? We have loads of meetings, open forums
where all these ideas, some with potential, others
completely daft, are aired and talked about.
“Then, when things get a bit heated, we retreat,
mumbling and swearing, into the Scalextric room. We
have a beer and a race to the death and clear the air.”
SCALEXTRIC ROOM
Adrian led the way to the Scalextric room, dominated by
the most amazing track. Built at waist height and some
20ft by 10ft, it’s got pit crews, grandstands and camera
crews. Just about everything that the average 12-year-
old would gladly sell his granny for.
Adrian: “Of course it was originally built to research
for Turbo Charge.” Yes Adrian, and I’m the editor of the
Kampala Bugle.
In fact, the Scalextric was originally constructed to
give the graphics boys something to work on when
drawing the cars and how they react on the track. “With
all the race games around, we wanted to bring a quicker
response to steering in Turbo Charge, coupled with
really fast road scroll to give a real seat-of-the-pants feel
to car racing.”
System 3 is of course best known for its Ninja
series of games and, like Stallone with Rocky and
Winner with Death Wish, it has no qualms about
producing sequels to sequels. Adrian continued:
“There's no doubt that Last Ninja Ill is definitely
going to be the last, and so we're determined that it’s
going to be the definitive Ninja game.”
Some 18 months and goodness knows how many
man hours have gone into this Ninja spectacular — a rich
concoction of nunchakas smashing and shuriken
stabbing with some amazing puzzles, invention and
E n the 8-bit boom, System 3’s games were just
adventure.
Adrian
continued:
“There’s no doubt that we were lucky to exploit a really
in-vogue theme with Ninja, but the awards speak for
themselves. Ninja III is a collaboration of ideas from the
team. But also the Ninja games were so popular that
many fans wrote in saying | enjoyed such and such
about the game, or | didn’t like that, but what about this
idea?
“We compiled some of the best and included them
in the game. | don’t think you can get a better idea of
what game players really want than taking heed of what
they say.”
TOTAL INNOVATION
Some of the ideas which feature in Ninja Ill are
incredibly imaginative and intricate, rivalling the likes of
Sierra and Mindcraft. Sure it's a beat'em-up supreme,
but there are elements of adventure and invention that'll
have seasoned adventurers applauding in the aisles.
Adrian described some:
“In one sequence, you've got to scale a wall and
the only way of doing that is to find tilers’ nails to attach
to your gauntlet. Then there’s cogs from machinery,
|
which can be used as shurikens or chains (
from hanging baskets and attached to hard
‘n’ heavy twigs for nunchakas. My favourite is finding
keys to doors. You have to locate a hearth, bellows, a
mould and a lump of metal, then fashion your key to fit
the locked doors.”
Statistically and technically, Ninja Ill is definitive.
Massive characters live in 3D environments in which
you can move any direction. Your man fights to the
death and discovers himself in some incredible venues
and the end of level villains leave you calling on all your
reserves of ‘beshido’.
“Myth was immensely successful on 8-bit, winning
just about every award and accolade for originality,
gameplay and graphics. Conversions of any kind are
not really our scene, but in the case of Myth we really

felt that it deserved to be improved and expanded on.”
The 16-bit version emerged as a barbaric Conan
style battle and adventure, which stands a sporting
chance of being this autumn’s number one.
Adrian described: “We first made the hero a
muscular, but mythical Conan style character and then
every monster that you come across should be enough
to really scare you into smashing and slashing the beast
to death before they finish you off.”
Armies of skeletons swipe at you and screen sized
demons emerge from fiery pools. Every step will take
your breath away as you fight through mythical Greece,
ancient Egypt and the mystical lands of the Norsemen.
PURE ORIGINALITY
If stark contrasts are what you want, look no further than
System 3. Adrian explained: “Silly Putty just cannot be
categorized — this is the most difficult game I’ve ever
had to describe. Okay, it’s cute, but the main character
is without doubt the most original thing ever.
“You control a blob of putty, which can stretch,
shrink and blow up at your command. You’ve been
banished from your homeland by the evil Dazzledaze,
who has turned your family and friends into bubble gum.
“Forced to befriend some dumb robots, they set
about building a skyscraper, which you must climb to get
home. You do this by inflating, stretching and absorbing
anything biological to maintain your pliability.
“But these stupid robots, who you are so heavily
reliant on, are solar generated and when the sun goes
down they throw themselves off the construction. You
have to keep them awake on the girders by serving
them cups of coffee. In a decade of game involvement,
it’s the most innovative thing we’ve done yet.”
The guys at System 3 seem to have cornered the
market in imaginative themes and gameplay. Watch out
for the team's next release, Last Ninja III — will the saga
really not continue?

1ST-7TH AUGUST 1991 GAMES-\
A guide to becoming a professional layabout. The long
haired yobbo gives an introspective view of the mysterious
world of the games reviewer...
0 you'd like to be a reviewer, eh? All those
lovely games every day, spending your life
just sitting in front of a screen with a joystick
grasped in your sweaty mitt? Absolute heaven for
some of you — or is it?
For a start, the idea of sitting around all day isn’t
quite right. On pretty much all mags, the process of
reviewing a game falls into a fairly strict routine,
whereby you must cover as much of the product as is
feasibly possible.
THE JOB ITSELF
So just what does it involve, eh? You get a game, you
play it and then write about it. What else do you do?
Pick your nose? Drink copious amounts of a
Caffeinated beverage?
Well, sometimes you'll be writing the ever helpful
player's guides (the bane of a Games-X staff writer's
life), while at other times you'll be dealing with
software houses, trying to get them to part with their
latest games.
Very often you'll also be dealing with letters and
phone calls from readers who are having trouble with
bits of different games. If you're a nice guy you'll help
‘em out — otherwise...
Most of your time will be spent playing and
writing. So how does it all work?
STARTING A REVIEW
OK, so the game lands on your desk and you’ve got
to review the little blighter. The editor will doubtless
want the piece by yesterday and then you’ve got a
limited time in which to scrape together every possible
bit of information you can find.
You may have heard of it, or maybe not. It may
be the type of thing you like, or possibly something
which you loathe. However, you must enter the
project with an open and objective mind (ahem!).
Sometimes this objective and open mind may
become a mite weary after a couple of minutes of
gameplay. Never mind though, perseverance is the
TIPS FOR GETTING IN ON THE GAME
1 - Remember to sell yourself, the more you
| appear to know, the better chance you have of
getting that elusive job.
2.- Try sending in sample reviews. There's
always the possibility of some freelance work
being available. It may even lead to a full time
position.
3- When reviewing a game, always try to cover
as much as possible. Focus on all aspects, from
gameplay through to presentation.
|4 - Get yourself known, don't focus on one
particular magazine or publisher. Spread
yourself about a bit. —
name of the game (and | thought it was Nebulus), so
at least an hour’s play must be put in before you start
thinking about writing a word. If you particularly liked
the game you'll doubtless keep playing for ages eating
up valuable time, but sometimes you'll be glad to turn
the darn thing off!
Your main objective is to study the way the thing
plays, as well as judging how long people will want to
stick with it. Obviously its presentation is also a major
factor, so you'll need to be reasonably critical about
that too.
OK, so having played the game to death, you
load up your favourite word processor and attempt to
create a piece of literary genius, based upon the piece
of electronic entertainment you have just experienced.
You collect your thoughts and attempt to do the thing
justice in about 400 words.
But what do you write now? Arghh, the inner
torment, the intellectual stimulation, the brain strain!
You begin to type...
GETTING INTO THE JOB
So how do you do it? Well, the general consensus of
opinion is that you have to be in the right place at the
right time or know the right people. Hmm, not very
helpful, eh?
Sometimes, you'll see an advert in the paper or
very often your favourite publication will bung an
advert somewhere in the mag, hidden away in a
corner. Local papers are always good to look at, just
keep your eyes peeled!
Very often you may want to get involved with
some freelance work, so just sending your reviews off
to a mag could get you somewhere. You never know,
you could even land yourself with a job.
When applying for any position, you'll need to
send some sample work, a well-written letter and your
CV. Sell yourself — it’s like any job, the more
experience you seem to have, the better.
Qualifications aren’t a major requirement: you'll
just have to show a decent knowledge of the industry
and have a sense of humour. It also helps if you're
capable of stringing more than a couple of words
together!
PROSPECTS AND MONEY
Now for the serious bit! Come on, own up! Well, for
freelance work you should expect between £20 and
£70 per page. Not bad, huh?
For a staff writer, you should be able to start on
around £6,500 to £7,200 a year and work your way up
gradually through the wage bands. From the lowly
position of staff writer you could move to senior staff
writer (coo!) and eventually end up as editor!
Away from computer magazines, you could move
to a different type of publication or even branch out to
a PR department. The sky’s your limit.

games before they come out. It’s also nice being
able to try out the different machines — especially
the PC with the stunning graphics for the Sierra

It helps if you know what you're doing with a

veryone’s favourite fatty, Jocky
Wilson, has officially endorsed
| this little sports ‘simulation’. There
| are six different types of dart’s
games in the package, including, of
| course, the standard 501 darts.
This, for the ill-informed, is the
game in which you have to get down
from 501 in as few darts as possible,
finishing with a double.
Also included are: football, dart
bowls, scram, ten dart century and
shanghai. Each of these is a special
variation on the arrows’ theme.
Bowls is a game where a dart is
thrown and then the two players try
to get their own darts as close as |
| possible to this target. |
Any darts that are closer than the
opponents score a point. The first to |
|
|
| reach 21 is the winner.
This is a very competent little
game, which is well worth the asking |
price, due to the variety of games |
that it can offer. |

1ST-7TH AUGUST 1991 GAMES-X 35
aleco’s Earth Defense Force (EDF) is a PCB
video game now available in arcades on both
sides of the Atlantic. This is a game for fans of
the simple to learn and operate space adventure.
EDF is a simple flat screen game for one or two
players. It takes a popular theme to a new dimension,
_but the original influence of some of the very earliest
video games can still be seen. This comes as a
refreshing change with idiot proof horizontal and vertical
movement on a 2D screen.
It is satellite warfare in the 23rd century, and you
take control of a spaceship with a dazzling array of
weapons ready to attack. Pilots have a choice of
weapon for their arsenal from simple guns and lasers, to
missiles and atomic bombs. Action takes place against
various backdrops as you proceed from level to level.
i These include a subterranean missile field where
i hidden dangers and a mega battle against the alien
firestorm will test your mettle. As if that isn’t enough, the
enemy Robocrab takes some destroying.
Battle your way through the
subterranean missile field in EDF
Fast thinking and good reactions are needed to
make full use of the weapon control system. Graphics
are good, sound a little muted perhaps, but a square
deal for the price of play. There is a simultaneous buy-in
feature to continue the game or introduce a second
player.
Sega seems to be on the ball at the moment in
terms of producing games with an innovative theme or
twist. Rail Chase comes into this category. It is an
Indiana Jones style adventure game set, of all things, in
a rollercoaster-type rail car.
Deep in the heart of the Andes, there is an evil
drug syndicate which is holding the region’s inhabitants
as slaves. Your job is to rescue the hostages, find a
secret Inca treasure, then make good your escape.
The only way out is in the rail car and this will take
oe
Explore the complicated underground cave rail
network deep beneath the Andes in Rail Chase
you through various challenges, including chases from
henchmen armed with guns and grenades.
It is not only the game theme that is innovative
with Rail Chase. The simulator version incorporates
a realistic moving bench seat powered by an air 7
drive system that recreates the thrills and spills of Aa
high speed rail car motion.
At the moment this has only been seen ina
two-player prototype format, but there may be a
Call to expand this to a four seater to encourage
group participation.
Either way, it is a fun and exciting game
which takes one or two plays to learn to
effectively aim your weapons because every |
twist and turn is realistically echoed on the
screen, easily throwing your sights off target.
Definitely one to watch for the near future.
Something else to look for from Sega, which
has yet to be seen in the UK, is Rad Rally. This
is the second of Sega’s new System 32 games
and, according to reports, is a more than useful follow-
up to the first, Rad Mobile.

et in the 23rq Century
One to four-player interactive, it offers high speed
rally driving on a choice of four courses, and is housed
in a stylish racing cockpit. More news on this when it
arrives on these shores.
Another one to watch for the future could be WWF
Wrestle Fest, from American Technos. This is a follow-
up to the very successful WWF Superstars, which is still
performing well in the UK charts.
Wrestle Fest picks up where Superstars left off by
bringing America’s hottest wrestling stars to the video
screen. A two to four-player PCB game, where
competitors can choose from all the top names,
including Sgt Slaughter and Hulk Hogan.
Wrestle Fest features buy-in and game
continuation, with features such as tag team matches
and the ultimate battle royal. Wrestling fans will take to
this game very quickly, and the
success of WWF
Superstars points to
the possible success
for this sequel.

Clwyd, giving you instant access to Gloucester — the
most valuable territory in the country.
Choose between Geoffrey ‘I've got a’ Longsword,
Wolfric the Wild and the other brave knights to take on
the medieval forces of the Defender of the Crown
From here on build up your army quickly and try to
take out the enemy in Buckingham as fast as possible.
Only use Robin for help if you need it, and finally attack
Norfolk before going on to defeat Cornwall. To joust
successfully, try moving the mouse in a circular motion
and practise to improve your sword-fighting skills.

NM agical Guy is a school boy with an
attitude, and now he’s wreaking
havoc in every school yard in town! The
game is the standard horizontally
scrolling shoot’em-up, with the
emphasis on being sickeningly cute.
The little wizard begins with a
single, magic beam with which to
destroy the enemy. Instead of gaining
(| the usual power-ups from shooting the
baddies, a small girl flaps along and, if
kissed, offers a selection of weapons to
choose from. These range from a single-
use smart bomb to homing bullets.
The basic gist of the game is, if it
moves - shoot it. Fire extinguishers
jump up and down, giving you a hosing if
you step too near, paper aeroplanes
float around the corridors and giant
couple of abnormal features, namely two
huge, green ears and a long scaley tail!
He also has the ability to fly, if the
correct power-up is collected.
Other power-ups include extra lives,
the ability to attack with devastating
effect and an energy top-up.
Most of the levels include a variety of
platforms that must be leaped on and
monsters that must either be killed or
avoided. However, some stages include
speedy roller-coaster rides, spinning big
wheeils and see-saws that will try to tip
you off!
Graphically, Marvel Land is not really
that impressive, although it is colourful
and rather cute. The animation is OK and
the sound is run-of-the-mill, but the
game’s strong point is its addictive
quality. You will actually need a sense of
timing and skill to win this one, and
overall Marvel Land, although not as good
as Sonic, is definitely worth a try.

requiring more and more hits to destroy
it than the last. The game is fairly
playable, but has nothing new to offer in
terms of big aliens or massive power-
ups, which is a shame.
Magical Guy is extremely cute and
visually OK, but as we all know, great
graphics don’t make a game - it’s the
playability that counts. The difficulty
set just right and there are numerous
opponents to keep you busy. However,
Magical Guy lacks that certain addictive
quality to keep you hooked.

? GAMES-X
Four years in production, thousands of man
hours and painstaking research, and what for?
To present what is arguably the most technically-
advanced, realistic and certainly the biggest
flight simulation today and for some time to
come — Birds of Prey.
ez San andi the Argonauts are
finally ready to open the
hangar doors to reveal a mind-
boggling list of features and) statistics.
This is something which could! only ~
have been achieved through four years
of dedication, advanced’ design
techniques and’ sheer hard work — one
wonders who will try to technically out-
gun this flight-sim?
Development started as a
progression of Star Glider || and using
the technology San had customised for
the game, the project evolved into an
aircraft’ simulation. However, as
advanced flight-sims were released
‘over the following years, including F-16
Combat Pilot, Falcon and Bomber, it
was decided that Birds of Prey had to
be bigger and better.
TOP SECRET
An example of the intricacy of this
project was the deployment of one
Argonaut, who's sole task was to create
perfect ellipses within the 3D
environment. The result of all this
experimentation is a complete airsim,
With full flight simulation of 40 different
aircraft, featuring existing, advanced
and prototype planes:
These range from the heavy
Hercules and B52s to Soviet, European,
British and US fighter jets, featuring MiG
29, Saab, Tornadoes, Stealth and
Eagle. There are even spy/
reconnaissance planes including the top
secret US Blackbird!
Of course, the question that’s going
to be asked is how can 40 planes be
realistically portrayed? There's only one
compromise, a universal cockpit,
featuring in whatever plane you’ choose.
This is explained away as ‘cockpit
familiarity’.
For accuracy and realism of the
birds in flight, Jez San employed his
knowledge of mathematics and physics:
Logically, the realism of all the 40
parameters of each aircraft's flight-
power, as welll as the speed and
ceiling capabilities under every

difference between a plane’s
capability when taking off with
fuel and weaponry on board, compared
to its return with no weaponry and low
fuel:
fesearched as the aircraft. In| the air,
each missile acts differently.
Sidewinders detach from) the wings
and hold back until their propulsion kicks
in) and they tear across the sky: Another
fealistic effect is the flight of the’ missiles,
retufm’, every mission is saved down on
completion thus creating a more
complex world. —
An example is a Hammerblow
bombing mission to: destroy a runway.
The enemy will begin repairs and you
must monitor the work to make sure that
the strips do not become’ operational
again. Thanks to an AWACS system,
you can watch all your enemy's
positions and
movements.
RED ALERT! MiG 29 entering air
Space and you must intercept and’ take
him out. Using automatic pilot you can
accelerate time to any point in the
mission from just after take-off to
approaching or engaging the enemy.
From the hangar, forward thrust
control taxis the aircraft onto the runway.
Centralise, increase throttle to maximum
and pull back on the yoke, now you can
toggle through enemy activities and see
what they’re up to. If at any point in a
mission the enemy attacks, manual
control kicks in.
The HUD pinpoints the enemy and a
diagram of the underbelly displays the
missiles available. You can swiftly select
: Harrier ready for
take-off
Missiles and bombs under
wing, a Harrier sets off ona
ground support strafing run
the missiles and the target computer
comes into play. The Kill Box signifies
that the target is in range when it locks
on Fire and Forget.
Realistically simulating one plane is
a tall order, but 40? Consider all the
different missions from dogfight to troop
drop, this is indeed four years hard
labour and it richly deserves the success
and acclaim that Spectrum Holobyte’s
Falcon has received:
The game has been designed to be
technically elaborate and the general
tone of the simulation is strictly business
and not for joy-riders. Aircraft simulation
is however, singularly the most popular
genre and should appeal to thousands of
frustrated armchair pilots around) the
globe.
Birds of Prey — the ultimate combat
flight sim — will be winging its way to the
shelves in September. Will it come up to
expectations? Almost certainly!
